Книга пророка Иеремии 26
1 В начале царства Иоакима сына Иосиина бысть слово сие от Господа:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying:
2 тако рече Господь: стани во дворе дому Господня и проповеждь всем Иудеом, входящым кланятися в дом Господень, вся словеса, яже завещах тебе проповедати им, не уйми словесе:
“Thus says the Lord: Stand in the atrium of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Judah, from which they come to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not choose to subtract any word.
3 негли послушают и отвратятся кийждо от пути своего злаго, и почию от зол, яже помышляю сотворити им злых ради начинаний их.
So may they hear and be converted, each one from his evil way. And then I may repent of the evil that I plan to do to them because of the wickedness of their pursuits.
4 И речеши: тако рече Господь: аще не послушаете Мене, еже ходити в законех Моих, яже дах пред лицем вашим,
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, so that you walk in my law, which I have given to you,
5 в послушание словес отрок Моих пророков, ихже Аз посылаю к вам из утра, и послах, и не послушасте Мене,
so that you listen to the words of my servants, the prophets, whom I have sent to you, who arise while it is still night, and though they give guidance, you do not listen,
6 и дам дом сей якоже Силом, и град сей дам в клятву всем языком всея земли.
then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city into a curse for all the nations of the earth.”
7 И слышаша жерцы и лжепророцы и вси людие Иеремию глаголюща словеса сия в дому Господни.
And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8 И бысть, егда Иеремиа преста глаголати вся, елика завеща ему Господь глаголати всем людем, и яша Иеремию жерцы и лжепророцы и вси людие, глаголюще: смертию да умрет,
And when Jeremiah had completed speaking all that the Lord had instructed him to speak to all the people, then the priests, and the prophets, and all the people apprehended him, saying: “You shall be put to death.”
9 яко прорече имеием Господним, глаголя: якоже Силом будет сей дом, и град сей опустеет от живущих. И собрашася вси людие на Иеремию в дому Господни.
“Why has he prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying: ‘Like Shiloh, so shall this house be,’ and, ‘This city shall be made desolate, even without an inhabitant?’” And all the people were gathered together against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 И слышаша князи Иудины словеса сия, и взыдоша от дому царева в дом Господень и седоша во преддверии врат дому Господня новых.
And the leaders of Judah heard these words. And they ascended from the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and they sat at the entrance by the new gate of the house of the Lord.
11 И реша жерцы и лжепророцы князем и всем людем, глаголюще: суд смертный человеку сему, яко прорече на сей град, якоже слышасте во ушы ваши.
And the priests and the prophets spoke to the leaders and to all the people, saying: “A judgment of death is for this man. For he has prophesied against this city, just as you have heard with your own ears.”
12 И рече Иеремиа ко всем князем и ко всем людем, глаголя: Господь посла мя прорещи на дом сей и на град сей вся словеса, яже слышасте:
And Jeremiah spoke to all the leaders and to the entire people, saying: “The Lord has sent me to prophesy, about this house and about this city, all the words that you have heard.
13 и ныне лучшыя сотворите пути вашя и дела ваша и послушайте гласа Господа Бога вашего, и престанет Господь от зол, яже глагола на вы:
Now, therefore, make your ways and your intentions good, and heed the voice of the Lord your God. And then the Lord will repent of the evil that he has spoken against you.
14 и се, аз в руках ваших, сотворите ми якоже угодно и якоже лучше вам является:
But as for me, behold, I am in your hands. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
15 но разумеюще да уразумеете, яко аще убиете мя, кровь неповинну дадите сами на ся и на град сей и на живущыя в нем: яко поистинне посла мя Господь к вам глаголати во ушы ваши вся словеса сия.
Yet truly, know and understand this: if you kill me, you will be bringing innocent blood against yourselves, and against this city and its inhabitants. For in truth, the Lord sent me to you, so as to speak all these words in your hearing.”
16 И реша князи и вси людие ко жерцем и ко лжепророком: несть человеку сему суд смертный, яко во имя Господа нашего глагола к нам.
And then the leaders and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “There is no judgment of death against this man. For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
17 И восташа мужие от старейшин земских и реша всему собору людскому, глаголюще:
Then some of the elders of the land rose up. And they spoke to the entire assembly of the people, saying:
18 Михеа Морафитский бе пророчествуя во дни Езекии царя Иудина и рече всем людем Иудиным, глаголя: тако рече Господь: Сион яко нива изорется, и Иерусалим яко в путь непроходный будет, и гора храма будет в луг дубравный.
“Micah from Moresheth was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: Zion will be ploughed like a field. And Jerusalem will be a pile of stones. And the mountain of the house will be like the forests of high places.’
19 Еда убивая уби его Езекиа царь Иудин и вси людие Иудины? Не убояшалися убо Господа? И понеже помолишася лицу Господню, и почи Господь от зол, яже глаголаше на ня: и мы сотворихом злобы велики на душы нашя.
Did the king of Judah, Hezekiah, with all of Judah, condemn him to death? Did they not fear the Lord, and petition the face of the Lord? And so the Lord repented of the evil that he had spoken against them. Therefore, we are committing a great evil against our own souls.
20 И бе человек прорицая именем Господним, Уриа сын Самеов от Кариафиарима, и прорече на град сей и о земли сей по всем словесем Иеремииным.
Likewise, there was a man prophesying in the name of the Lord: Uriah, the son of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-jearim. And he prophesied against this city and against this land, in accord with all the words of Jeremiah.
21 И слыша царь Иоаким и вси князи вся словеса его и искаху убити его: и слыша Уриа и убояся, и бежа и прииде во Египет.
And king Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and leaders, heard these words. And so the king sought to put him to death. And Uriah heard, and was afraid, and fled, and he entered into Egypt.
22 И посла царь Иоаким мужы во Египет, Елдафана сына Ахорова и мужы с ним во Египет,
And king Jehoiakim sent men into Egypt: Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and the men who went with him into Egypt.
23 и изведоша его оттуду и приведоша его ко царю, и порази его мечем и вверже его во гроб сынов людий своих.
And they led Uriah out of Egypt. And they brought him to king Jehoiakim, and he struck him down with the sword. And he cast his dead body among the graves of the common people.”
24 Обаче рука Ахикама сына Сафаниина бе со Иеремиею, еже не предати его в руце людий, да не убиют его.
But the hand of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, so that he would not be delivered into the hands of the people, and so that they would not put him to death.
